    Congrats. That's exactly what works for me. I aim to eat around 17-35g of carbs per day. And like you, I enjoy a high carb meal once a week too.
    Good luck!

    Great job ! I do carb cycling as well. I paired my high carb days when I lift weights. It works great for me and it help me to lose over 30 pounds since July!

    I started 11-15 and am down 23 pounds by doing low carb--though, lately, more carbs have been creeping in. Time to put a lid on those and get back in the game!

    I have seen where I start to get comfortable and more carbs sneak into my diet but I catch on to it quick so I try to control it b4 I let myself get to carried away
